Business of the House

Debate between Alan Campbell and Noah Law

Thursday 30th October 2025 Commons Chamber

[Sir Alan Campbell]

The hon. Gentleman will know that where housing is built, infrastructure is important, and we will want to make sure that it is included in any proposals. He is at liberty to apply for a debate in which to raise these matters. I gently point out that it is for the local authority and the local fire service to decide how they deploy their resources, but we are in this situation because his party left public services on their knees.

[Noah Law (St Austell and Newquay) (Lab)]

The Leader of the House may have heard my question earlier today to the Under-Secretary of State for Business and Trade, my hon. Friend the Member for East Renfrewshire (Blair McDougall), regarding the financing of Cornwall’s industrial potential. Will he meet me and Cornish MPs to discuss how we can bring such issues together in a wider devolution package that finally gets Cornwall the powers and investment that we need?

[Sir Alan Campbell]

I am always willing to meet my colleagues from Cornwall, so the answer is yes.
